**📢Update on NDC Funding & Grassroots Support 🌐:** **@nfcommunity.near shares plans for funding @neardigitalcollective.near & supporting grassroots projects. Decentralization, self-governance, & community empowerment at the core. Let's dive in👇** 🗳️ @neardigitalcollective.near is a group that helps with the ecosystem's self-governance. They've achieved milestones like creating a community treasury and a voting initiative. The NEAR Foundation is giving money to #NDC for these efforts. * To make sure NDC succeeds, the Foundation will give them an advance of around 15 million $NEAR tokens. This depends on successful governance elections and using a responsible funding process. * More advances (up to 100 million $NEAR) will come as they meet goals together. After governance elections, the community will set goals for NDC, and everyone will vote on them. * The timeline for these changes has been delayed, causing funding issues for grassroots projects. The Foundation is sorry for that and is launching a grassroots support initiative. They will work with projects needing urgent help until NDC funding is available. The community can book time to discuss support options. **Overall, #NEAR wants to support grassroots projects and keep growing as a strong, decentralized ecosystem.** #Web3 #NEARisNOW #Crypto #NEARistheBOS
